Trouble Retrieving ParseFile for ParseUser

For my ParseUsers, there is a column named "profilePicture" of type ParseFile, and given a user I try to retrieve the ParseFile and convert it to Bitmap with the following code:

    ParseUser user = ParseUser.getCurrentUser();
    BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
    options.inSampleSize = 4;
    Bitmap image = null;

    ParseFile profilePicture = user.getParseFile("profilePicture");
    System.out.println("DATA: " + profilePicture.isDataAvailable());

    try {
        InputStream inputStream = profilePicture.getDataStream();
        image = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(inputStream, null, options);
    } catch (ParseException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return image;

Getting the ParseFile works fine, but every single time isDataAvailable() will return false, even though I manually check the column to ensure that there is an image file in the "profilePicture" column for that particular user. What could be the cause of this?

Use .getDataInBackground method and decode your file in the done() method

 profilePicture.getDataInBackground(new GetDataCallback() {
    @Override
    public void done(byte[] data, ParseException e) {
       // Do your magic
    }
 });
